MONTREAL -- (Marketwire) -- 10/19/09 -- X2O Media, a leading provider of digital signage
solutions, today announced a new enterprise communication platform that
allows businesses and organizations to distribute real-time messages to
multiple screens throughout their network, greatly improving the
effectiveness and reach of employee communications. With X2O, business
executives, marketing communications staff, and human resources
professionals can quickly and easily display Microsoft® SharePoint®
content in the form of desktop TV channels, scrolling news feeds, or
data-driven screen savers on employee desktops, mobile devices, digital
signage displays, and interactive kiosks, using the same tools to manage
content on all screens. X2O goes beyond basic streaming video by allowing
users to create customized information channels combining dynamic graphics,
animations, video, and live data in a visually stunning format that
resembles what viewers are used to seeing on network television.

X2O Media created the X2O enterprise communication platform to address the
growing demand by organizations for better employee communications. By
using SharePoint tools and other internal content sources, X2O builds on
processes already in place, effectively extending the reach of current
approaches to target any or all employees within the organization in a
timely fashion. The X2O platform can be used to send real-time company
messages or emergency alerts, graphical dashboard data, live news feeds,
and video content to one or multiple channels. Content can be sent to any
number of screens simultaneously, allowing targeting of messages to the
right person, at the right time, in the right place. Information on
upcoming events, company announcements, schedules, and business dashboard
data is automatically formatted and displayed as high-end,
broadcast-quality graphics on employee desktops and mobile devices.

Widely adopted by a variety of companies to meet their internal
communication needs, Microsoft's SharePoint is an integrated suite of
server capabilities for enterprise-wide content management. Over 17,000
companies and 100 million people use SharePoint daily. A recent report by
market researcher IDC found 61 percent of users surveyed were deploying
SharePoint enterprise-wide. Another 28 percent using SharePoint in
departments are expected to expand usage to the enterprise within 12
months. And three-quarters of the Fortune 100 now have SharePoint.

"We are excited to introduce this new functionality to the business world,
which will dramatically improve internal communications," said David
Wilkins, X2O Media President and CEO. "For corporations, the link to
SharePoint acts much like a live data link to a database, Web site, or
other source. Once content is updated in SharePoint, it is automatically
updated throughout the entire X2O network. This 'push' concept can be used
to build a SharePoint TV network with hundreds or thousands of personalized
screens displaying real-time information, anywhere in the world."

Vegas. For more information on X2O, visit www.x2omedia.com or contact
